OMAHA AS iV SPORT CENTER
Three Big: Tournaments Scheduled for
the Coming- Summer.
TWO OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE
Ronllns Tonrnament Jnst Closed One
of the nisi Events of the Year
for That Particular Line
of nort.
Troof Indicative that Omaha Is one of the
real centers of national sport may be
had by anyone glancing over the lists of
tournaments that Omaha has scheduled for
1911. They show that this city has taken a
place of prominence In the sporting world
and will hold It In the coming years.
The biggest event Is the Clay Court Na
tional Tennis Tournament, to be held at
the Omaha Field cluh starting August t.
Last year was the initial event of the
clay court championship and Omaha car
ried if off In splendid style and Incidentally
In that way secured the event for this
year. And a promise is made that Omaha
shall have at least every other year In
the future.
The entry list of the event of 1910 showed
men from all parts of the United States.
n Interesting news Item about the tour
nament was that a Callfornlan. Melville
Long, won the singles, with Merrill Hall,
Brooklyn man. as runner up, and In
the doubles O., W. Anderson of New York
as paired with W. T. Hayes of Chicago.
This shows that the honors of the meet
ere spread fairly evenly over the differ
ent parts of the United States and In the
coming event the committee expects to
have a number of entries from the south
included.
Transinlanlaatppl Golf Tourney,
In the golf world Omaha has scheduled
the Transmlsslslppi annual tournament, to
start at the Omaha Country club August
19. This will bring here the best golfers
from points east of the Mississippi to the
Rocky mountains. It la one of the big
events of the west and this city Is one of
the cities of the west that the tourna
ment comes to every few years.
The third big sporting event of the com
ing summer la also to come In August,
the Western handicap shooting tourna
ment, held at the Omaha Gun club. The
Western handicap Is one the three big
shoots of the year In America, ranking
equally with the annual eastern and south
ern shoots.
Gunners of the middle west think that
the bringing of the handicap event to
Omaha this summer will boost that sport
greatly in the coming years and place
Omaha again on the map as one of the
shooting centers of the country.
nisi Indoor Meet.
In track athletics Omaha has lta big
annual indoor meeting to be held at the
Auditorium April 1. To thia there will be
track athletes from all the big colleges

Young Men's Christian associations ana

ognized as one of the big annual events
of the track season by the American Ama
teur Athletlo union and that association
has sanctioned the meet by placing the
Western District championship track meet
here on that date. Thus all records made
at the meet will count as national rec

President Taft an exchange of telegrams
between himself and Governor fttubh of

Mr. Calderhead In part as follows:
I am advised upon excellent authority
that the proposed Increase In second clssa
postage Is aimed directly at progressive

proposed are confiscatory and will prac
tically ruin every popular periodical In Ihe
country, and will, therefore, deprive the
perple of their only free press."
Mr. Calderhead Sent the following tart
reply:
"Dear Governor: Tour message is at
hand, and, as usual, you are wrong. The
congress of the United State Is not the
enemy of the people and the freedom of
the press Is not In danger. J wish you
would get some correct Information."
